A key consideration is to ensure robust project management of a long-term key-component system contract by building strong relations with the customer(s), global suppliers/partners, company product lines and global functions, and the regional corporate leadership team to effectively manage all project related matters and commercial negotiations, ensuring acceptable project profitability.
